I think this is going in the right direction. Two comments:
1. MinSpareThreads is way too high. There is no reason to have 25 idle
threads hanging around at all times. The original figure of 5 seems fine to
me.
2. Naming:
I think we should define Server="thing capable of serving requests" and
completely get rid of "Child" which is ambiguous. Then we can change
MinSpareThreads -> MinSpareServers
MaxSpareThreads -> MaxSpareServers
StartServers -> StartProcesses
ThreadsPerChild -> ThreadsPerProcess
MaxRequestsPerChild -> MaxRequestsPerServer
The first two are clearly better because they are more consistent with
prefork and easier to understand.
The third one is less consistent with prefork, but is much less ambiguous.
The last one I'm not sure of, because I don't know whether this is actually
measured per thread or per process. Perhaps it should be
MaxRequestsPerProcess.
This has been hashed over already a couple times. I hope what I am
proposing here is close to what we were talking about before. I know there
was a suggestion to use "worker" for what I am using "server" for.
